Ladder Full Breakdown

Ladder organizes fitness around a coaching team — a named group of athletes working under a real coach with a defined training philosophy. The coach appears in a personal recruitment video before the user joins, delivering a direct pitch designed to make joining feel earned. Completing the welcome workout unlocks the full app simultaneously: the workout plan, the team chat, the Workout Wall showing 13,728 previous completions of the same workout, and the get-started challenge checklist. Every major feature reveal is timed to the same single event.
